Catholic's confession vs Judicial Committe
by JustTickledPink ini remember being indoctrinated how "bad" the catholics were and in particular the confession practise was always ridiculed.. i was thinking about it today, if i felt guilty about something how wonderful it would be to open a confessional booth, talk to a priest, confess, he would say some words to me, tell me what to do as penace and on my way i would go.
i think their thought is that the judging is really left up to god (i hope i have that right) and then i thought about the jc committee.
you walk in, they grill you, you confess, they judge you (not god) and then df you if they think it's warranted.. starting to think that the catholics had it right after all.

Psychic readings
by JustTickledPink inwho here has been to a psychic or palm reader?
do you think they have any supernatural powers or just make informed guesses based on statistics when they take a look at you.
example: i am 30, a white female, with a ring on my finger.. what are the issues that concern me?.

what ever happened to that "tree of life"
by JustTickledPink inin genesis it mentions the "tree of life" that adam & eve were never to partake of... they ate off the "tree of knowledge" and then god forbid them from everlasting life.
he stationed angels and a flaming sword there to protect the tree.. what happened to that tree, the flaming sword, and the angels?
do you think the story was literal or like other misunderstood things, symbolic?

I received the answer to my question
by JustTickledPink inyesterday i had a conversation which i mentioned on another thread but will detail more here.. i left the jws when i was about 19 and drifted and was df'd 5 years ago.
i'm now 30. my issue always has been and still to this day was the fact that my mother basically disowned me.
that has been an extremely difficult concept/doctrine for me to accept.
